svg export problem cam.openbuilds scale/dimension

newcad
Hi,
when I export my drawing 100 mm in LibreCAD is only 93,75 mm in cam.openbuilds.

How can I fix this. Thanks

Just an idea, when exporting to pdf and the windows printer driver is set to scale to printable area the pdf can be undersized. Maybe the same can happen when exporting to svg.
So set to print at 100%.
You may also check the svg in Inkscape to rule out it's a fault of cam.openbuilds. I have tested svg export from LibreCAD and it was allright.

I think LibreCAD exports 90 dpi but cam.openbuilds works with 96 dpi (industry standard).
90/96 = 0.9375

Inkscape changed to 96 dpi years ago so this works.

Is there a way to change the LibreCAD svg export to 96 dpi ?

Thanks

I can't help on this. It's a question for the developers.
